Previously, he was the Chief Economist at Upwork, the world’s largest online freelancing platform, and senior economist at Moody’s Analytics, where he managed U.S. demographics forecasts and research. Ozimek’s research includes a broad array of economics fields including labor markets, demographics, and remote work. His research has been cited in publications including the New York Times, Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal. Ozimek holds a PhD in Economics from Temple University.
